Class dists: Collection of Distances and Ratios

Advanced Use Only. This low-level function creates an object of class "dists" from raw numerical data.

Usage

dists(df, area, n_obj, max_dist)

is.dists(obj)

df: A data frame with the columns sim, dist, and ratio containing an indicator of the model run (0:n_sim), distances between the objects of the patterns, and the ratios of a buffer with distance dist inside the study area (needed for Ripley's edge correction).
area: size of the study area in square units
n_obj: number of objects in the pattern
max_dist: maximum distance to be measured in pattern
obj: an R object, preferably of class dists

An object of class dists.
